E6600 Cooling

[Anogar]

I'm not OC'ing my retail E6600. I'm using the stock heatsink, and some stock fans. The fans are probably a year or so old, so I should probably replace them. They're kinda noisy anyway.

I'm looking at these:

Aerocool Silver Lightning
Think that'd work? I want to make sure that my E6600 has a nice long lifespan and keeps up its performance.

edit:

There would be two intake fans, and two fans in the back, so I'd buy 4 of those.

The price is decent and for an 80mm at close to 20dB 33cfm is reasonable. I normally don't touch a fan that does less than 100cfm but my system can be heard in other rooms...

Yeah, my wife would kill me. If I'm up and on my computer and she goes to bed, she'd better not be able to hear it. We have a relatively small condo, so noise is important.

if your useing intel-s stock cooler then im quite sure even yur neighbours will hear it...its like a jet-engine(5500 RPM?). so rather buy a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and a few zalman 80mm case fans, and it will be relativly quiet....best would be useing fan speed controller with them to reduce the voltage to half- i have almost that setup(apart from that im useing a freezer 64 pro) and all the noise i hear is a very low hum, and the loudest noise from my computer is the hard drive(with is from samsung)

no way to build a silent pc with this Intel heatsink and 80mm fans. imo it takes a 120mm 1000-2000 rpm fan, a good heatsink from scythe or thermalright, and a couple of slow rotating - lets say 800-1000rpm ultra silent fans - for the case itself and maybe even a replacement fan for the PSU, Papst fans come to mind. a fan controll is nice to have too.
Ask for more silent fans in the cases&cooling subforum.
costs for all these parts...about 80$ i guess.
